hogso Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I'm enjoying it, perhaps because it's my bag (X files, lost, from, etc. I like em all) or maybe cos I didn't watch it hoping it'd be a 'proper' true detective series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I watched 1 and 3 in preparation, missing out 2 because I have a vague memory of it being shite This far in to 4 and I'm not sure if it's just massively overrated, probably because of who's in it, it's nowhere near as clever as it thinks it is to the point where a good chunk of season 1 on a second viewing felt like guff It's a 7/10 TV show, not top table must see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It's certainly not easy watching Jodie Foster do love scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 1 is a high point in television of the last 2 decades. Edited February 12 by Mr_Dogg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 1 is a high point in television of the last 2 decades. because the wife hadn't seen them that was my memory of it but honest watching it again I'm not so sure, there are some bits of it that are absolutely superb but then there are other bits where id question whether or not Rust is actually a bit boring and the script is way too far up its own ass that its not as clever as it thinks it is and at its core the case itself and the way it weaves isn't overly interesting either, I'm not convinced the ending lands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 In regards to "Loudermilk," is that a birthmark on Mugsy's daughters face? Whatever it is, she's still gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 13 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13 I'm liking True Detective S4. It's way better than S2. Spoiler Think it will be wrapped up with all the supernatural elements of the show being put down to poisonous water from the mine or something like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad no - one commented that it reminded them of X Files before I watched it, because I wouldn't have bothered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Halo season 2 has started on Paramount+. Must admit i fell asleep at pretty much the same point trying to get through episode 1, it’s good, but it’s not great, and it should be great given the source material.

Drifted away from source material far too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Finished Loudermilk. It grew on me and I'll certainly miss, what at times, was a very funny show. Apparently, it's still got legs according to the writer's and it's just a matter of finding a distributor. I hope so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I watched One Day on Netflix this week, 14 episodes randing in 19 minutes to 38 minutes. Its based on the David Nicholls book of the same name, previously there had been a film starring Anne Hathaway. It was pretty good in my view, but I loved the book and this series was a lot closer to the book than the film, not that the film strayed too far. Ambika mod was excellent as Emma, believable, and so far the online critics haven't had an issue with her ethnicity. The male lead is Leo Woodall and I would say he is the only weak point in it, not a great actor, but the whole thing carries him anyway. The soundtrack is excellent, lots of indie hits, so if you like a bit of main stream indie, this hits the right notes. As an aside when David Nicholls first released One Day, on his website he had a list of tunes called the Emma morley mixtape, which was a lot better but I suspect they couldnt get permission for it all. Regardless, if you like David Nicholls outside of Us, this is the best adaption of his work and worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted February 14 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14 (edited) Late to the party with Fargo series 5 and about halfway through, but what excellent television. Some real heavyweight acting performances. Edited February 14 by Follyfoot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
